MAX3232EEAE+

MAX3232EEAE+ is a +3V-powered EIA/TIA-232 and V.28/V.24 communications interface device that features low power consumption, high data-rate capabilities, and enhanced ESD protection. The enhanced ESD structure protects all transmitter outputs and receiver inputs to ±15kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge, ±8kV using IEC 1000-4-2 Contact Discharge, and ±15kV using the HBM. The logic and receiver I/O pins of the MAX3237E are protected to the above standards, while the transmitter output pins are protected to ±15kV using the HBM. A proprietary low-dropout transmitter output stage delivers true RS-232 performance from a +3.0V to +5.5V power supply, using an internal dual charge pump. The charge pump requires only four small 0.1μF capacitors for operation from a +3.3V supply. It guarantees operation at data rates of 250kbps while maintaining RS232 output levels.

• Two receivers and two transmitters
• ±15kV ESD-protected, down to 10nA true RS-232 transceiver
